I agree with Wocka. The Rattler would be better, but I am pretty sure it won't break down for the shelf-sized box that they need for display.

Turning an iconic joe vehicle into a cobra one and viceversa is just so lame...

Regardless of that, the size of the box doesn't seem to be a big worry right now, the Desert Duel box is almost twice the length of the 25th Rattler box, a third of which is pretty much unused space. I think there's probably another reason (or other reasons) we're not getting the Rattler. |

I still remember back when Joe figures were only 2.99 each! I'm fine with paying $10 for Joes these days, but $25 is crazy to me. |

The club doesn't sell off-model figures with newly made-up costumes in the FSS because they know no one would ever pay their price for them. They have enough trouble gettiing anyone to buy anything that isn't modeled on an '80s character.

You all have great points. I think that split into pieces there is enough variety to make it cheaper by the pack so to speak. I just wanted AVAC and Steeler but it's cheaper to resell the Chimera, Alley Viper, Grunt, and Scythe than to buy those 2 individually. There will be someone to pay $30 for the Chimera and $50-60ish for the Scythe. Alley Vipers are always in demand too. I just couldn't believe it was still up so I bought an extra set so now I can sell it off piece wise. The Scythe is great for Crimson lovers and the Chimera with some quick stripes becomes a Night Viper Hiss like the NJCC did.
I agree with this 100%. In 2013 I only wanted the Baroness/Ravage figures, I sold the vehicles for 65, snake eyes for 25 and bludgeon for 50. The set was only 113 after tax. So I actually made a little profit and got the Baroness/Ravage for free!, It's just you need to actually have patience and do the work is all.

Eh, a quick order from Cobrastickers and you've got a unique Jungle HISS tank. Problem solved.

Doesn't the same apply to the retail set and it's half the price
